A tidy, upright small SUV that looks like a shrunken C10. Full-width LED light bars, flush door handles, clean surfacing. Nothing gives away how little it costs.

Step inside, and the best bit is overhead. A fixed panoramic glass roof with an electric blind over both rows. Below it, a 14.6-inch touchscreen and perforated seats that punch above the price.

Now the numbers.

• 160 kilowatts,
• 240 newton-metres,
• zero to 100 in 8 seconds.
• The 67 kilowatt-hour battery covers just over 400 kilometres
• and DC charging runs 30 to 80 percent in around 20 minutes.

But here’s the thing. It’s rear-wheel drive, where nearly every rival at this money drives the front wheels. It pushes you along rather than pulling, quiet and settled.

Five-star ANCAP. Six-year warranty. 360-degree camera. And 13.1 kilowatt-hours per hundred k over my week.

From around $40,000 before on-roads.

The Leapmotor B10. The easiest way yet to find out whether an EV suits you.

The Fiat 500e is an interesting car. If you are going to have an urban electric vehicle, then this is ideal. Its small, nimble and fits almost anywhere in a parking spot in the city.

It’s also extremely popular amongst the style and fashion devotees.

The 500e has a 42-kilowatt hour battery that is good for a realistic range of about 280-290 kilometres. With a power output of 85 kilowatts its zippy but runs out of energy quickly. It is however definitely a one pedal driving style which takes a little getting used to.

Charging at an 85-kilowatt DC charger it will take about 35 minutes to get up to 80% charge. But doing it at home will take forever and the car isn’t supplied with a mode 2 charging cable.

Inside the 500e is simply laid out but well equipped.

The seats are comfortable, with manual adjustments but are heated. The eco leather tends to cling to your clothes a bit.

I like the large ten and a quarter inch central touchscreen. Its easy to use and read. Smart phone connectivity and charging is wireless.

Almost everyone that spoke to me about the car thought it was cute.

The Fiat 500e is priced from $52,500 dollars plus the usual costs.
